55 year old trucking student

Thanks, Crusty..... My tired old brain is pretty much swimming with CDL stuff, lots of studying going on. Not easy being a student again after God knows how many years.
Question: Should I beat myself up studying Hazmat, Doubles, etc, for my permit test, or stick w/ Gen'l Knowledge and Airbrakes? (I'm in Az...)
Again, thanks for the response, Mr. Crust. You want fries with that?

 

Put some time into studying hazmat. That endorsement will open more doors for you. I reccomend it highly. Doubles: just not that many outfits run them. It's more of a physical application in know how. Once you hook them up the first time; the mystery will disapear. Pulling them is easy as long as the heavy trailer is first. KNOW your air brakes and the checkout procedure.
I too will be attending TDS at a community college on the 8th. Two month course. Gotta shake out the cobwebs.

 

Good luck for your new career beginning. I really appreciate your courage and attitude.
